Detigers09 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I've been out of the Zeppelin loop for a bit now, and I just popped in to listen/watch some of the videos on the site. I ended up stumbling across this 8mm footage of the boys live on their first American tour at the Filmore?? When did this footage come out? This is golden, groundbreaking! Why would anyone be taping some random band who happened to be opening for Iron Butterfly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators sam_webmaster Posted September 14, 2009 Administrators Share Posted September 14, 2009 The guy who filmed it released it about 10 months ago. He also filmed the Doors '69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Why would anyone be taping some random band who happened to be opening for Iron Butterfly? Jimmy had already begun to develop a following during his stint with The Yardbirds. The month prior San Francisco-based Rolling Stone magazine did report Led Zeppelin's signing to Atlantic Records. Bill Graham had many of the gigs he promoted filmed and those are steadily being released thru Wolfgang's Vault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any information on whether or not the 23/7/77 or the 24/7/77 gigs were filmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen no evidence to suggest Bill Graham had those particular shows filmed. I have probably seen a couple hundred photographs taken that weekend and there is nothing in them to suggest a camera crew in the vicinity of the stage.

It really is a bummer that the band didn't have anything planned for a filming of that tour, it was one of epic proportions. Who knows, maybe Jimmy has but he is embarrassed (for want of a better word) of what he was during those years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
